Another week in the life of eWaste Ben

[@Wreck-Gar]

These "Week in the life of Ben" videos are fantastic. Loving them, please keep them coming! 👍

[@Nitrodus]

YES!!!! I was hoping Ben is gonna do another one! I am so excited to watch "another episode"! Thank you Ben, and have a nice Sunday everybody!

[@dalesmith147]

Keep the videos coming. I've been watching you been for about 6-7 years now. And I can't wait for each time you put out another video. I do wish you could do more street's trapping videos I love them but I also love the ones at home

[@OttomaticM]

Great video, it would be cool to see you clean out your garage as a video.

[@thadofalltrades]

I second this, the garage clean videos were my introduction to his channel

[@OttomaticM]

@@thadofalltrades I didn't know he already did them, i'ma check them out.

[@thadofalltrades]

@@OttomaticM yea last year I think it was, he got the garage cleaned out.

[@rockman531]

Great video, Ben!! Love these long ones!! Congrat's on getting those old, rare towers! Thumbs up!! See you next week! Jim in Phoenix.

[@kimratcliff3279]

Another excellent video Ben!!! Thank you.

[@lorieakins2843]

I live to watch your videos. I love scrap and love how you show us how to do it.

[@inventorOz84]

Hi Ben! Nice episode. Just in the end, what you have is a centrifuge rotor in a biology laboratory. It is probably aluminum alloy. they turn at a very high speed 10000 rotations per minute, you collect cellular material thanks to this. They are extremely expensive.

[@rafakropidowski3682]

Love Youre videos man. I am just waiting for more. Best regards mate.

[@ssweeps]

Never seen a small blue bin with a lid before. 😊

[@dalecrary8738]

Great video, need to throw in a scrap steel run as well. Thanks fir taking us along

[@baharuddinbesah3709]

Hi Ben another great video As always enjoy your hard Work attitude stay safe Out there bro Regards To Your Family

[@ValacircaTN]

Oi Ben love that way of posting. Great video 🤙 Edit : the titanium stuff are centrifuge I think

[@sharkscrapper]

All that RAM, OMG!!! WOW, titanium centrifuges - very cool. LOL, I just got one as well but it was from a veterinarian's office, cheap thing made in China. I wonder why those were made of titanium? Those SG computers should be very nice. A fun week for sure.

[@MD4564]

Nice long video, thanks Ben! It's disappointing that there is no more free recycling, this should be a government department since the scandals with Woolworths etc.with recyclable products (REDCycle scandal).. But love the video :)

[@Drummerjuicer]

55:54 that voltage converter. I am not sure what type of plug that is. We don’t use that type in North America

[@josephcormier5974]

That's some very good scrap and don't forget that those centrifuge have electric motor in them excellent video awesome content thank you for a nice long video six stars brother

[@Wreck-Gar]

I can just imagine the guy that was hoarding the SG machines watching this and screaming at the screen 😂

[@teajaykay]

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. I'm commenting on an older video because you touched on the subject of it being too expensive to hire help. I'm sure others have commented too. What you have to think of is how much your time is worth. It's difficult when you like or need to be the face your customers meet AND you are the best at the hands on work. Remember, that the hands on can be taught. The rare right person might be an even better face of the company, but that would be hard to find. Your methods have changed a lot. I always admired how thorough you were. Later videos you lost that. And that might or might not be good. It depends on how much you miss by taking a hit on a whole shed full of stuff being scrapped in a couple of weeks. You show us how much you make. And we can guess how much KZbin pays. With help you could take the time and make more on KZbin. It comes down to things I struggle with, the same as you. Let go of power and trust that someone else can do at least an average level of work and trained to go above average. Believe me, for both mental and physical health alone, it's worth it! Another thing I admire about you is that you don't wear gloves.... Hard Ass!

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

We do take titanium at the scrap yards. The thing is we don't get it too often and it takes a long time to collect a shipable amount.

[@ROBERTSCOIN]

Great video Ben some interesting items there, those spinning things you have the blue and black ones can't be aluminum because you hit the lid with the bottom on one of them and they ping also what is the box with all the buttons I think they are by your scrapping bench.

[@ToadalSimplicity]

For pack rats like me who hold on to outdated tech too long, that "sleeve" on the graphics card is something I save and then put back on the card when I no longer have it installed. If I had to guess, that's what happened with that Radeon. You don't even have to save the original protector since the PCIe slots are standard sizes so the next one you buy likely will have a protector you can use. Love these videos and your style! Keep up the great work!

[@KEVINlaw-i7m]

Nice one Ben, hope you got a bit done over the rest of the weekend.

[@geoffupton]

these week vids are cool 😊 thought on the card recyclers, wonder if they ever put them in circles? wella boxing ring! 😂😂😂 sorry 😂😂😂 nice one with all the sorting!

[@mircobiguzzi1084]

Awesome video ben. Hope you are doing good. 👍

[@johnolszowy8663]

Yes thanks for your excellent video Ben.

[@frereskk]

The silicon graphics computers are selling at +/-$500.00 CDN and the keyboards are selling at +/- $195.00 CDN. Nice find! They expensive SG computers are the more square ones. They sell at +/- $1500.00 a piece...and the mac powerbook 190cs with all the trimmings sells for +/-$200.00 CDN...

[@RSFred555]

If there are 3 of the stepdown transformers, I would check the Silicon Graphics PC to make sure that they are not just 120 volts AC before you plug one into 220 volt AC. Since they came from USA and looks like the power supplies are not standard PS and probably are not auto switching or have a switch to switch between for 120vac and 220vac.

[@DanielHouston-uw3ir]

Glad to see you back in action, we've been missin' your scrappin' wisdom! Would be nice if you could pop in audibally(if that's a word) on Scrappin' Irish's Sunday forum, but it's what, a 15 hour difference or something like that? Nice video, but damn that was a lot of cardboard!

[@shaneyork300]

Looking at you unload the Chunky stainless steel makes me think of how cool a compactor would be so you condense! Then solving the issue of moving them. You could something like that on so many things too! Not much room to work with but if it could safe twice as much space then the room for the compactor would make room for itself.

[@nickgordon9445]

i;ve been enjoying these mate, keep up the great work cheers :)

[@deborahgould5695]

Hi Ben what maybe boring to you is just the opposite to me. I could watch this type of video all day long and never get bore. For me it's learning things I never knew before. What to look for and what's not worth the effort.

[@delta250a]

Wow, those little iPAQ 212 handhelds are worth a fair bit. Nice find.

[@raymondmundt385]

If you hit titanium with a grinder it'll give you a bright white spark.

[@sebrassino]

Oh wow, I can get used to these weekly video's! Nice!

[@illi-the-wolf]

yea good stuff ben! Id defo make sure to keep those inverters - very handy for those pesky oldschool USA PCs that have the older style switchmode PSUs... the voltage is one thing, but the freqs also gotta match, and they should do the job nicely! Still look in great nic too! Great work - seems like yer in good health, too. Very glad to see ^_^

[@troynixon209]

G'day Ben. When you cash in items originally kept for gold recovery, do you buy gold with the proceeds?

[@harryverboom4032]

To know for sure if its titanium you have to smack/scrape it on a concrete floor titanium gives little sparks its worth a little bit more than stainless 316 so its a special metal but not so spectaculair haha

[@johnmackenzie1916]

I got some titanium from of all things, a pool heater. I thought it was stainless steel, but the yard foreman picked it out as different from the rest and when they tested it with the gun...sure enough, titanium...they still paid about the same as stainless, but it was only 3lbs so I didn't complain As far as melting it, it has a very high melting temp so you'd need quite a furnaceto melt it.

[@johnmackenzie1916]

By the way...as far as your vintage collection goes, have you had any contact with set dressers from the film industry?..maybe a nice short term rental market?

[@jamesrunacres8148]

Really enjoy this type of video 👍🏻

[@Sloxx701]

Someone actually gave you those SGI computers wow... thats a nice score!

[@ssweeps]

Nice recycling cardboard. Better than going in the trash. 😊

[@frereskk]

The direct removal of iron impurities from titanium products is impossible by the current industrial technology. Therefore, recycling of titanium scrap containing large amounts of iron by remelting is difficult. One of the many remarkable metals that can be recycled as many times as possible without losing any of their properties or general quality is titanium. Titanium is mainly recycled using a method called vacuum arc remelting. Since the metal can't be melted in an open-air furnace, it is instead processed using this method. Recycled titanium is not as valuable as copper, but it is more valuable than stainless steel and other ferrous metals. Good for you. They seemed quite heavy, so...a couple of bucks there for you!

[@Kreacher1974]

I have titanium plate and screws in my neck and titanium pins and screws in my back. Here in the states some scrap yards will buy titanium but surprisingly it is not very valuable as scrap.

[@MrShekoexile]

My yard buys titanium. It's rather pricey, too. Gotta use the xref gun to figure out what to pay though.

[@peakindustriesteam]

where do you pickup e-waste electronics in nearyou

[@marcelx8369]

Actuallly it is a little bit sad to see, that all those PCs are scraped. Because with an SSD and GPU they would work well. 8 Dollar for the scrap, but the costs for environment... Reuse instead recycling...all those good CPUs..

[@shaunosmorrison8385]

the core 2 duo ones are pretty much dead now unfortunately

[@marcelx8369]

Ja, thats true...

[@Scrapping4aDart]

On eBay those Silicone Graphics computers range from $400.00 to $2,000.00 sold! Wow, what a score!

[@Kreacher1974]

None of the scrap yards near me buys ewaste, and there there are no other places that buys ewaste. 😊whenever I find computers I just take the bard drive apart for the magnets and the case is cast aluminum.

[@bentleyboy58]

Amazing to me how much value people give away. That would never happen in the US

[@marcelx8369]

And twice never in Germany. 😊

[@adredy]

Stupid country the same in uk must be recycled

[@TheAdamk9111]

I own a junk removal company in Virginia. I am always taking away high value stuff like I took away 3 T shirt presses worth 1500$. All 3 of them work and look like they are new. If you look trust me you can find good value stuff even dumpster diving the right dumpsters and you will find expensive stuff in the trash.

[@marcelx8369]

@@TheAdamk9111 I think it is the different trash system. In Germany it is unpossible to Mix trash. Like metal and electronics and plastic. You also cannot put it on the street and the town will collect it. As privat person you have to bring it to a dump site, where everything is sortet for free. It is also Not allowed to take away others trash by law. And so we also dont have such big dumpster, where you can put so much stuff in.

[@TheAdamk9111]

Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude God Bless You And Your Family 🙏🙏👍👍

[@EddieGalois]

1:11:06 a comment on this; in retrospect, there were past opportunities that may have been beneficial to capitalize on. However,... your current work and videos still serve as not only inspiration but education to would-bes who *have* capitalized on such an opportunity. There might not be a felt value gain directly, but being able to virtually shadow an experienced scraper is very valuable learning for us would-bes, wannabes and small timers who are looking to up our games. Thanks for the last eight years plus of virtual apprenticeship you've given to your viewers, and for the millions of dollars of value retained by all the fledgling scrappers whom you've directly inspired. 🇦🇺👷🏼‍♂️🍻👨🏼‍🌾 🇺🇸

[@jonglewongle3438]

Better to scrap the laptops if there be just as much, or more, value in scrapping them than selling them on to a buyer. Get the near obscelete barstids out of circulation. You contribute to streamlining the second-hand market. You eliminate work either at your end or further down the line with refurbishing. Starting with the RAM you get a materials flow through the recycling streams sooner rather than later. Better that than just selling them on, as is, to keep them moving.

[@peteoneill5799]

Apparently titanium is only worth 6.25 usd/kg at the moment

I know im late but why not use driveway space? You could have piled up the stainless on the sides of the driveway and it wouldnt be in the way too much

[@MrShekoexile]

I reckon his missus has some say in that matter 😅

[@ramblingman8992]

Those titanium things are called centrifuges. They are used to separate liquids by weight.

[@pavlovssheep5548]

you need an oxygen free environment to melt or weld titanium or it reacts with the oxygen in air and catches fire

[@damienmccullough6254]

Hey man, I been following your channel for a while now, I work at a scrap yard here in new Zealand but am slowly starting to set up my own scrap metal business, wouldn't mind getting in contact with ya at some point as I have a few questions on how ya got started and what stuff was worth getting or too time consuming when Starting up ect, no stress if ya can't find the time, will continue on to enjoy your content and gain knowledge while watching for the meantime 😎
